LONDON, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- British police questioned two suspects on Monday -- an 18-year-old Iraqi refugee who is believed to have planted a homemade explosive device on a packed rush-hour subway carriage in west London on Friday, and a 21-year-old from Syria, who is named by police as Yahyah Farroukh.
They were both arrested on Saturday in connection with the Friday explosion at a Tube train at Parsons Green subway station in west London, which left 30 people injured.
Forensic tents are still being erected in the gardens of a terrace house in Stanwell, Surrey, some 26 km from central London, where the two suspects are believed to have spent time being fostered by Penelope and Ronald Jones, aged 71 and 88, who were known for fostering hundreds of children, including war zone refugees.
The country's threat level was downgraded from critical to severe on Sunday night shortly after a second arrest was made in west London meaning a terrorist attack is highly possible.
Britain had been warned that a terrorist attack could be "imminent" after the bomb suspect fled the scene and went on the run.
However, the reduction of the terror threat suggests that Scotland Yard believes the person who planted the homemade bomb on the subway train was not part of a wider terror network.
However, British detectives will now be seeking to establish if those responsible had traveled to Britain as genuine refugees, or if they were actually members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), who had been sent to specifically carry out an attack.
The 18-year-old was arrested by chance when two unarmed police officers spotted him at the Port of Dover. At that time, he was trying to buy a ferry ticket to flee the country.
Hours after his arrest, which London police described as "significant", the second suspect was arrested at a chicken shop in Hounslow, west London.
According to Farroukh's own Facebook page, he had moved to London from the Syrian capital of Damascus.
He fled the Syrian civil war in 2013, going first to Egypt and then Italy, reports said.
London police began to search the home of a second refuge foster child on Sunday night as part of the terror probe following the Friday blast, caused by the explosive device which partially detonated.
The Parsons Green attack was the fifth terrorist attack in the country in the past six months.
Previous attacks in London this year at Westminster Bridge, London Bridge and Finsbury Park as well as a blast at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester killed dozens of people and injured more than 150.
Both men remain in custody under section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which allows police to detain suspects without charge beyond the four days allowed for suspects connected to other crimes.
The possibility that the two became friends overseas is being actively investigated.
BERLIN, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Braga came from behind to beat hosts Hoffenheim 2-1 in Europa League's Group C while Berlin shared the spoils with Athletic Bilbao following a goalless draw on Thursday.
European debutants Hoffenheim were unable to defend Sandro Wagner's opener as goals from Joao Teixeira and Dyego Sousa allowed Braga to snatch a 2-1 comeback victory on the road.
The "TSG" dominated the first half and worked out a number of chances, still Kerem Demirbay and Andrej Kramaric failed to break the deadlock although they rattled the woodwork.
As the match progressed, Hoffenheim's dominance paid off as Sandro Wagner headed home Pavel Kaderabek's cross to mark the opener with 24 minutes into the clash.
The hosts remained in control of the proceedings but they lacked in accuracy to extend their advantage.
Thus, Braga punished Hoffenheim's wastefulness as Joao Teixeira nodded home Ricardo Esgaio's pinpoint cross to level the scores against the run of the game before the break.
Julian Nagelsmann's men suffered another setback after the restart as Esgaio's square pass found Dyego Sousa, who tapped home the 2-1 lead out of the blue with five minutes into the second half.
Hoffenheim pressed frenetically for the equalizer whereas Braga kept all their men behind the ball. The hosts created one chance after the other but all their efforts remained fruitless, as they were unable to overcome goalkeeper Matheus Magalhaeas.
With the result, SC Braga sit atop the standings in Group C followed by Istanbul Basaksehir, PFC Ludogorets and TSG Hoffenheim.
Elsewhere, Hertha Berlin and Athletic Bilbao played out a stalemate after goalless ninety minutes.
Both sides staged an uninspired performance at Olympia stadium, yet Berlin was more active and worked out a couple of promising opportunities throughout the match.
"We played a good second half but we always miss the last pass which allows us shot on target. We have to be satisfied with the draw," Berlin's head coach Pal Dardai said.
With the draw, Berlin and Bilbao sit on the second place of the standings, behind Ostersunds Fk and followed by Zorya Luhansk.
